It's a very topical problem because more and more shops, enterprises, even schools have gadgets in their buildings to see people, to look after them. The abundance of gadgets leads to the lack of privacy. Who would to be seen while he's changing? No one. (Except for some individuals)
Firstly, tags. For example, you're buying a piece of clothing with so-called "RFID tags". Of course, companies promise that after you bought something this tag would stop working, but it frequently wouldn't , and after leaving the shop, company can see your location. This fact is really scary. Along with the fact that there were cameras in changing room of one company. This's completely unacceptable. People need their private space, where they cannot be seen, like toilets, changing rooms,churches and so on.
Secondly, it's our online life. Many people don't care about things they write there, photos they post, etc. but actually "online space" is a really dangerous place. People often use their location there, leave their number, blood type, their photos, everything! And everyone can see it! What's good about it? Nothing.
There are way more different things that affects our privacy, like ID cards which contain ton of information about you (fingerprints, image of your iris...), "cookies" which help anyone find out about your internet activities, "smart" travel cards which contain a microchip so you can be tracked across a city when you're using public transport and many many different things.
What I want to say is that you should always be carefully with your privacy, because who knows maybe you're being watched right now.
